What ’s your opinion the the image of Satan in Paradise Lost.你对撒旦在《失乐园》中的形象有什么看法？The image of Satan in Paradise Lost is extremely complex and subtle.He seems to be almost heroic in the earlier portion of the poem、grand and majestic inappearance、fearless in character.However、as the story develops、Satan i’masge |精.|品.|可.|编.|辑.|学.|习.|资.|料. * | * | * | * | |欢.|迎.|下.|载. changed significantly.In Book I he is a strong、imposing figure with great abilities as a leader、whereas by the poems end he slinks back to Hell as an ugly serpent.He begins the poem as a just-fallen angel of enormous stature that shines like a comet、then disguises himself as a ordinary cherub、then as a cormorant、a toad、and finally a snake.This sequence of different shapes assumed by Satan is not only the deterioration in his outward image but also reflect the state of his soul.《失乐园》中撒旦的形象极其复杂和微妙；他在诗的早期好像几乎为勇敢的 、 在外表上为郑重而威武的 、 在性格上为无畏的； 然而、 随着故事的进展 、 撒旦的形象发生了重大变化；在《第一书》中 、 他为一个顽强的.威武的人物 、 作为一个领导者 、 他有很强的才能 、 而到了诗的终点 、 他又像一条丑陋的蛇一 样回到了地狱；他以一个身材高大的天使开头这首诗 、 像彗星一样闪烁 、 然后把自己假装成一个一般的小天使 、 然后假装成一只小马 、 一只蟾蜍 、 最终为一条蛇；撒旦所出现的这一系列不同外形 、 不仅为他外在形象的恶化 、 也反映了他灵魂的状态；Satan is the real hero of the poem. Like a conquered and banished giant、 he remains obeyed and admired by those who follow him down to hell.撒旦为这首诗真正的英雄；就像一个被战胜和被驱赶的巨人 、 他仍旧听从和敬佩那些跟随他下地狱的人He is firmer than the rest of the angels. Though defeated、 he prevails、 since he has won from God the third part of his angels、 and almost all the sons of Adam. Though wounded、 he triumphs for the thunder which hit upon his head and left his heart invincible. Though feebler in force、 he remains superior in nobility、 since he prefers independence to happy servility、 and welcomes his defeat and his torments as a glory、 a liberty、 and a joy.他比其他的天使更坚决； 虽然失败了 、 但他占了上风 、 由于他从上帝那里赢得了他的天使的第三部分 、 以及亚当的几乎全部的儿子； 虽然受了伤 、 但他仍为由于雷声打在头上 、 让自己的心立志不行战胜； 虽然力气无力 、 但他在名贵方面仍旧很优越 、 由于他更喜爱独立而不为幸福的奴性 、 并欢迎他的失败和磨练、 将其视为荣耀.自由和欢乐；Satan is the spirit questioning the authority of God撒旦为质疑神的权威的灵魂第 2 页，共 3 页2. What does “God”symbolize in the poem.God has two symbols. On the one hand is that God is the antithesis of free will. He is arbitrary and violent. As the creator of all things、 he gives life to all creatures. Therefore、 he demands unlimited gratitude and absolute obedience from all creatures. On the other hand、 God is the incarnation of reason. Man externalizes and visualizes his reason、 making it a feature of God |精.|品.|可.|编.|辑.|学.|习.|资.|料. * | * | * | * | |欢.|迎.|下.|载. 上帝有两个层面的象征，一个为上帝为自由意志的对立物，他专横.强暴，作为一个万物的制造者，给予万物生灵以生命，所以要求万物无限的感谢和肯定的听从；而为上帝为理性的化身，人把自己的理性外在化，形象化，使之成为上帝的特点第 3 页，共 3 页。
